Conflicts around a tree
Description
The plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya, a dominant male, twenty submissive females, two warring brothers, a tree of forbidden fruit, a snake: this is the olive baboon version of Genesis. Effortlessly combining scientific rigor, objectivity and humor, this documentary spends eight months around a 'dormitory-tree' in the intimacy of a troop of baboons caught up in hierarchical conflicts. They have to put up with anything: floods, rivalries, alliances, parasites, and even cheetah attacks. Only a unified troop could possibly overcome these ordeals.
